What’s This TV Show About?

A History Middle Ages drama, Knightfall stars Tom Cullen, Pádraic Delaney, Simon Merrells, Olivia Ross, Ed Stoppard, Sabrina Bartlett, Julian Ovenden, Jim Carter, Bobby Schofield, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Sam Hazeldine, and Nasser Memarzia. Years after the Templars lose their last Holy Land stronghold, their dying Master Commander points them to the possible location of the Holy Grail. Whether they’re waging war in the Holy Land or in conflict with the king, they’re rushing headlong toward the eventual demise of the Templar Order.

Telly’s Take

The ratings have been significantly lower than Vikings’. However, I suspect Knightfall will score a season two renewal because the cable network is trying to build up its scripted programming slate.

I hope there will be more. I enjoy the history with a wild storyline, it kept you on the edge and waiting for the next week’s story. I am so bored with all other programs. I miss the Game of Thrones too.

I liked that they cut the battles with contrasting scenes-keeps the interest in the storyline and, Yes, I agree it begs to improve, but Joan’s switch from ‘OK to lie to king for the greater good to NO I will die before I live a lie with you’ was… Read more »

Please renew this series! i think they deserve a chance to telling a lot of stories and show all the true facts about the Templars! we almost don´t have any material of them in the little screen! The pilot was great, i hope the second episode can be getting better too. For first time in a lot of time we have a show different, in the style of “The ******* Executioner” that´s telling a part of the history very famous but of what we know very few. Stop with renew shows that are pure **** like Shannara´s chronicles and Once… Read more »
